I hate to

[bonkers65]

I hate to wake up in the mornings because sleep is the only relieve I get from this horrible condition.

I wish I could sleep

Have you tried some breathing exercises and thinking of your favourite place to be

[ukpete in reply to Mary-intussuception]

I am actually at one of my favourite places to be now with my wife, lovely hotel, food ect, just full of anxiety, been like this all week, had very little sleep

[Bay23 in reply to ukpete]

Anxiety usually stems from worrying too much especially for the future just try to be present in the moment try thinking about where u are now not what happened in the past or what is coming up in the future. As far as sleeping I usually count to a hundred as many times as I need till I fall asleep. That helps with being in the moment to because it takes ur mind of being in the past or future and causes u to be focused on something in the moment. And helps with overthinking because it’s pretty hard to overthink counting

I haven't been to the Lake District for a long time.

It'll soon be breakfast time at the hotel, won't it?

Is your wife a late riser?

ps

I took one Amytryptiline at night for a few nights only. Was suffering sleep depravation when pain in right shoulder was keeping me awake at night. It had immediate effect and leaves you drowsy the following morning but at least I caught up on some sleep. I wouldn't take them longterm though. They lose effectiveness after a few days.

Do you drink lots of coffee?

Look on the bright side at least you can sleep

[bonkers65 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

I agree and I thank God every day.

I love my sleep also. I wish it was permanent. It’s the only relief I get also.
